How to use a personal loan for higher education

Pursuing higher education — whether as student or through courses — is an investment in your future. But it often comes with a long list of costs beyond just tuition: visa fees, flight bookings, living expenses, materials, and more. Here is how personal loan for education can help. With a Flexi Hybrid Term Loan from Bajaj Finance, you manage these expenses with ease. Borrow when you need funds, prepay when you can — and pay interest only on the amount you actually withdraw.

  • Visa and flights

    Check your personal loan offer with phone number and OTP → Apply online in 5 minutes.

    Heading abroad for your studies? Be prepared for application fees, visa processing charges, airfare, and documentation — all of which can quickly add up.

    Why it matters: These expenses usually need to be paid before your education loan is disbursed. A personal loan ensures you don’t miss deadlines.

  • Course fees and extra costs

    Your education loan might cover tuition, but what if you need to enrol in an extra course or switch to a more expensive program? A personal loan gives you that additional financial cushion.

    Pro tip: Choose a Flexi Hybrid Term Loan so you can withdraw funds as needed across semesters.

  • Accommodation

    Rent is just the beginning. Add to that groceries, local transport, mobile data plans, and internet — and the monthly total can be a lot more than you expected.

  • Course material, laptop, and devices

    From books and stationery to laptops, software licenses, or lab equipment — academic tools often come with a price tag.

    These purchases are unpredictable but essential. With a Flexi Loan, you can borrow only what you need, when you need it — without dipping into savings.

  • Emergency fund

    Health issues or unexpected travel can create sudden expenses. While insurance may help, it rarely covers everything.
